LV-N heat production nerfed a bit, but more importantly, there are now radiator parts. This is the big one for me. The LV-N was basically unusable in 1.0.2. I slapped a couple of radiators on my standard nuclear tug design and was able to burn at full throttle for ~24 minutes without anything explo...

I find the "grinding for science" thing intensely boring, so my solution was to turn up the science rewards to like 600%. This way I still have to gather science, but I don't have to do a bunch of boring grindy missions to get anywhere.

I know there's a big gender identity equality thing here on the fora, but seriously, it's still okay for people to identify with their similar gender. ...Did you seriously just pull the "cis people are so oppressed!" card? >_> We're rockin' the suburbs here, folks. Y'all don't know what i...

It's also perfectly likely that in all the Barking Dog becoming Rockstar Vancouver becoming not-a-studio-anymore that paperwork was lost to the void and nobody is even sure who needs to talk to who in order to make it happen. I know a similar thing happened with NOLF, nobody can figure out who owns ...

I don't think I would ever draft more than 2 Assassin's Blades unless the other options were really awful. There's just too much chance that you'll have 2-3 in the same hand, and they'll be dead cards for 4+ turns and lose you a huge amount of tempo. The third one I drafted over a Leper Gnome and S...

I didn't feel great about the draft because I got a lot of shitty picks, but many of them ended up comboing in unexpected ways. Also, I got 3 assassin's blades which do a damn good job of locking down the board in the early-mid game. I think a better player could have gone 12 wins with this deck eas...

I'm the same, I didn't enjoy science at all. I like setting my own goals, and the science system pushes me to set goals I find incredibly boring (like landing on the mun over and over again to get all the science on it) I'm more interested in contracts, though, because I like the idea of having to d...

I have noticed this too--the default staging has gotten *awful*. I almost like it better this way, because it forces me to always set up my staging, whereas before, because it got it right 95% of the time, I'd forget to change the 5% it got wrong and completely bone my mission. I really think the st...

Just had the most hilarious win on casual. Playing Druid vs a Rogue. Her side's clear, I have a 2/4 on my side. I'm thinking I'm going to lose, as I have a hand full of spells and no creatures. Then she plays Leeroy Jenkins, hits me with him and brings me down to 2 life, but doesn't kill me. She's a...

Had my best Arena run ever today, 4-3 :p It's annoying, because I want to get better at Arena, but to play Arena you need gold, and the best way to get gold is to get good at Arena... I believe someone on this thread suggested that already, but given how important the drafting part is I advise tryi...

Oh I know it's used in other games - but in pretty much every one of those games, the mechanics you get out of the second deck are far more interesting than what you would get out of replacing lands with mana crystals. Given how many games of Magic I've lost to mana screw over the years, I would be...

Also, it's pretty inaccurate to describe it as a begging campaign. Pretty much everyone who backs actually gets something in return; in the case of Oculus Rift, most of the backers *actually got a Rift* as part of their pledge.

This looks like the most relevant part. Oculus VR will continue to operate as an independent company and develop video game related technology Everyone always says this when they acquire a company and it is always complete and utter bullshit. Remember when EA bought Bioware and Bioware "contin...

I know I always say this, but there are literally mods for everything you just said: * There was a mod that adds a PAPI (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Precision_approach_path_indicator) to the runway, though I don't know how long since it was updated * The Realchutes mod adds chutes that specifically...

Yeah, KER is pretty much indespensable for me, because doing dv calculations otherwise is such a pain. It also gives you the (full) mass of each of your stages, which makes it a lot easier to do dv calculations when you need to (e.g. when building a craft in orbit) Carlington makes a good point abou...

brenok beat me to it. I knew exactly what the problem was before I even looked at the image. The reason is that the game automatically switches between surface mode and orbital mode at a certain altitude, so you get used to never paying attention to which mode it's in. The problem is that every so o...

HOLY CRAP THAT'S A LOT OF SCIENCE RETURNED So you probably got, what, 400-500 science out of that trip? Once you get up to the higher end of the tech tree, that's barely half of a single piece of research. Back in .22 (when you could spam-transmit science) I made a trip to Jool, landed on Pol, and ...

Heh, fwiw, most of my first attempts at learning the game were centered around fucking something up, and sending a rescue crew. For the rescue crew. Who were stranded trying to get the rescue crew. For the rescue crew... True story: the first time I sent kerbals to the Mun, I ran out of fuel and co...

I know that I can raise my apoapsis with a burn at periapsis, but I don't know where on the Mun's orbital path my apoapsis should end up, nor how to get it there Do this: Start with a circular orbit around Kerbin Add a maneuver node, add prograde burn to the node until the apoapsis touches the Mun'...

Do you know how to use maneuver nodes? You can use those to quite easily line up encounters with the Mun/Minmus. Minmus takes slightly more delta-v (~100-150m/s) to reach from Kerbin; it takes a lot less delta-v to land and take off from because its surface gravity is so much lower than the Mun's. T...

I believe they removed the xp system. Like, a month ago. The fact that they're still making such massive changes to the game this late in development just adds more fuel to the "they clearly have no fucking clue what they're doing" fire. Also the fact that they refused to use Garrett's ori...

I'm glad they're thinking about the "endgame" now, as the game does tend to feel a bit pointless once you've "done everything". Playing in career mode actually makes that worse, since it feels like there isn't much to do once you've filled out the tech tree. Filling the tech tree...
